From Oberdrum to Vienna

As promised, here's the photo of our hosts and their still. (They call this a small still?!)
And this is what happens to guests who drink too much...
But on to today and our drive on the Grossglockner High Alpine Road rated as one of the ten most scenic drives in the world. We agree even though my John & Judy who are both afraid of heights and who were both sitting on the passenger' side of the car, have now caused the car to have a definite tilt to the left from them leaning towards the center every time the road went near the edge on their side. John counted 50+ hairpin turns. The scenery was dramatic! That's Austria's highest peak, the Grosslockner, and the Pasterze Glacier, slowly melting away.
This is John imitating Otzi or maybe even how those many bicyclists we passed must have felt at the end of today.
And then it was on to Vienna. Simply a lovely day of driving through the beautiful alpine countryside. Our hotel, Der Wilhelmshof, is decorated throughout by artist Ty Waltinger. Thought you would like one last photo of the wall above our bed. Wild dreams tonight!
